• An Architectural Technologist is a technical designer skilled in the application and integration of architectural and construction technologies in the building design process.
  • The TU831 BSc (Honours) Architectural Technology programme is an immersive, full-time programme, which will prepare the student for practice and requires attendance five days a week. A studio setting provides a structured environment in which they will work alongside other students and be exposed to a variety of teaching and learning experiences.
  • Project work is of a practical, hands-on nature and is supported by lectures, critiques, one-to-one tutorials, group work and construction skills classes. The Technical Design Studio provides a focus for developing skills in three-dimensional problem-solving, including freehand drawing and model-making. Their studios are equipped to enable manual drawing and use of PCs and personal laptops, so students can carry out their project work using a variety of media and approaches.
  • Studio projects develop skills in Building Information Modelling (BIM) to produce 3D digital models and 2D working drawings. The studio format offers flexibility for student to attend project-related site visits and field trips away from college. These experiences are supplemented by industry and professional presentations, specialist structural engineering and building services workshops.
